In the morning he returned, and Captain Godfrey, his wife, and little ones, left the sloop and went to Crabtree's.

Captain and Mrs.Godfrey and Charlie had to walk the entire distance over the lake and through the forest to Crabtree's log house.
The man who had rescued them attended to their wants as well as his circumstances would allow.

He kept the distressed family until the month of May, when the ice in the river broke up.

Captain Godfrey then set to work to fit out the sloop, being determined to leave the place as soon as possible.

The sails and part of the rigging were consumed in the fire at Grimross.
